Kemar Roach is ruled out of the remainder of the Windies' tour of England with a shin injury.

West Indies have been dealt a big blow as paceman Kemar Roach is ruled out of the remainder of their tour of England with a shin injury.

The bowler, who took eight wickets in the two Tests so far played, is to return to the Caribbean immediately.

Windies coach Ottis Gibson revealed his disappointment, saying: "He has been outstanding with the ball for us so far this year and we are all gutted by his departure."

This leaves the Windies without their main pace threat for the remaining Test, the three ODIs and the T20 fixture, as well as the two-day tour match against Leicestershire starting on Saturday.

Roach bowled at an average of 34.25 in the two Tests.
